Synopsis
So many different types of aeroplane, old and new, conventional and bizarre, were involved in the war of 1939-45 that any selection for a volume of this size must necessarily be an arbitary one. In this initial presentation, therefore, the selection has been governed primarily by the operational importance of the aircraft concerned, although some types have other claims for inclusion. The big is filled with a description of each aeroplane and a coloured line drawing. Despite major expansion and re-equipment programmes begun in the middle 1930s, by the outbreak of World War II biplane fighters still predominated in most of the world's leading air forces. Germany alone posessed a major operational force of monoplane fighters, which in the Spanish Civil War and the early European campaigns of 1939-40 had summarily disposed of the technically and numerically inferior opposition it had encounterd. In the Autumn of 1940, however, the RAF's hurricanes and Spitfires gave the Luftwaffe a sharp reminder that numerical superiority alone is not enough to win a battle.

Fighters 1939- 1945. Attack and Training Aircraft
Seller: The London Bookworm, East Sussex, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Hardcover. Fighters 1939-1945. Attack and Training Aircraft. Tiny small tear to top edge of front D/J. No other conflict in history created the need for so many different categories of aircrew to be trained in such numbers and in such haste. The profusion of combat types in service in 1939-45 has necessarily left space for the inclusion of only the most prominent wartime training aircraft, but those which do appear are rightly remembered as some of the most celebrated aeroplanes of their time. Illustrated. 163 pp. Seller Inventory # 109819
